• Medical treatment and repatriation costs back to the UK could be covered if you get ill or injured abroad
• If your holiday ends before it begins, cancellation cover means you could claim back the cost of your hotel and flight tickets
• Many providers offer airline failure cover, which could offer protection if your airline goes bankrupt

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you can still get a quote through Confused.com. These conditions could include cancer, stroke, serious heart, respiratory and terminal conditions.

Some insurers might not cover you if you already have a serious medical condition, or if you have a number of conditions. Others might only offer insurance at a much higher price. If you're unable to find suitable cover, the Money and Pension Service (MaPS) has also set up a directory of insurers willing to cover customers with pre-existing medical conditions.

You can contact the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) or you can telephone 0800 138 7777.
